Our take on the Coast of Maine 1SSI16 Sprout Island, Organic Seed Starter, 16qt

Sprout Island is Coast of Maine's organic seed-starting mix, sold in a 16-quart bag. It is a fine, light blend built for germinating flowers and vegetables in trays and small pots, and it carries organic certification. Compared with cheap peat-based starters, it is a premium bag aimed at gardeners who want a consistent, ready-to-use mix without blending their own. It is not a potting soil for long-term growth, so seedlings need repotting into a richer mix as they size up.

Questions and answers

Can I use it for vegetables and flowers?
Yes. Coast of Maine lists it for both flower and vegetable seed starting, and it works for herbs too.
Does it contain fertilizer?

How much does the bag fill?
The bag holds 16 quarts, enough for a standard 1020 tray or several small pots, but not a large sowing.
Is it organic?
Yes, Coast of Maine sells Sprout Island as an organic seed starter.

Only if it has not been used by seedlings that damped off. Fresh mix is safer for each new sowing.
